Post Processing

(This page needs more details.)

The rest of this wiki is about getting you a folder full of high-quality images of frames; this page is about how you get from there to an actual movie. The simplest and most direct way to do this is to use ffmpeg via the command line. A single command can quickly convert a film, adjust color, crop, add sidebars, and even change the framerate. If your film is very clean and not shaky, you may be very happy with the results provided by ffmpeg. (ffmpeg example command lines here)

Many of my films were old, dirty, shaky and suffered from serious crazing on the emulsion layer. To process these I've been using aviSynth. It only runs on windows and is somewhat cumbersome, but its stabilization and temporal cleaning capabilities are unlike anything else I've seen. I've used it on linux and mac via Wine. (ToDo - add links to AVIsynth libraries and my scripts, and sample screenshots)
